The Rebellion Chronicles #2
Death Unleashed
A DEADLY VENOM. A LOOMING REBELLION. A VICIOUS SIEGE. AND THE CLOCK IS TICKING.
For sorcerer Nate Garrett, the stakes have risen. If Asgard falls, he may lose much more than his home - he may lose the thing dearest to him. To stand a fighting chance against Avalon, he must be ready to go to war. But when his best friend and father are poisoned, Nate must race against the clock in a desperate quest to find a cure.
Layla Cassidy is tasked with gaining the aid of the Valkyrie in Valhalla, but once there, she finds herself involved in another rebellion and must pick a side before it's too late.
Meanwhile, Mordred finds himself on a hunt for Excalibur, a weapon of incredible power that would aid the rebellion in their fight against Arthur and his allies. But to retrieve it, Mordred must face the uncomfortable truths about himself.
War looms over the rebellion, and the battle for Asgard is at hand. Time is running out as Avalon's forces threaten total destruction. But Nate can't be in two places at once. Can he find the cure, and can he, Layla, and Mordred save the realms before it's too late?

WARNING: This is more of a rant than a review and there are major spoilers included.
Death Unleashed? If you're talking about the number of named character deaths, then definitely. If you're talking about Nate, the new Horseman of the apocalypse, then this title is a bit of a misnomer. Sure, he kills some people, but he's hardly on a new level of doing so.
Judging by the average reviews, this is an extremely unpopular opinion, but I am greatly disappointed with the Rebellion Chronicles so far. We left the Hellequin Chronicles with the promise that Nate was about to level up big style, but we come back to see him fight in exactly the same way he always has. Unless he's facing henchmen, his fights are just as close as they've always been. This so-called weapon that everyone was afraid of coming into his power has finally come into his power and he is still no match for the big named bad guys. He genuinely doesn't seem to have any benefits from his trials at all. It's so disappointing.
Talking about disappointing, what the hell is going on with the Nate-Odin storyline? Their reunion happens between books and yet the author uses Nate's feelings for his father as a driving motivation for the plot. What feelings? We've seen them have one awkward conversation at best. And then to top it off he dies at the end because of character stupidity, which leads to the question...
WHY IS EVERYONE SO STUPID IN THIS BOOK?
There are more unnecessary chances taken, needless arrogance, villain monologuing, letting people live when they obviously should die, and characters deliberately handicapping themselves in this book than in a whole year's worth of cash-grab action movies. Seriously, a lot of good characters die like chumps in this book for needless reasons. Odin wouldn't have died if Nate had just killed War instead of taunting him. Elain wouldn't have died if Mordred would have just kept the sword or if anyone would have killed Lancelot instead of trusting him even though he's a war criminal. Half of the missions would have been more successful if Nate just killed like the badass he could be at times rather than constantly telling people that its time for them to die... JUST KILL THEM ALREADY.
Seriously, this was a devastating book for character deaths, injuries, and general failures, because I think every single one of them could have been avoided if it weren't for stupid choices by characters.
For the sake of brevity, I'm just going to bullet point my other gripes with this book:
- The first few chapters of this book were so abrupt I genuinely felt like I'd missed a book (I literally checked Amazon to see if I had somehow bought the 3rd book instead)
- Why was Rasputin in this book? His role seemed completely pointless.
- Nate's reunion with his mother was completely underwhelming.
- Nate doesn't at all act as a new father in this book and his daughter is barely mentioned. Hardly the life-changing event it should be for a 1600-year-old sorcerer who thought he couldn't have kids.
- Hope's character did a complete U-turn by doing the self-sacrifice play when we know she's been staying alive to actually see Hera die.
- The sudden appearance of other fully powered Horsemen seemed sudden and out of nowhere.
- Hera's death wasn't satisfying at all considering what she's done in the past.
- Tommy was really misused in this book as he was either a plot device or a liability in all his scenes.
My biggest gripe of the whole book though is that it feels like we're rushing towards an ending without getting all the awesome story that is supposed to lead there. The Hellequin Chronicles was a series of 7 great books building towards a war. The Avalon Chronicles felt like opening skirmishes but not much more. Then there are these last two books where it feels somehow like we're at the end of the war even though we don't know where all the key pieces are for either side, haven't seen any of the moves of how they got to where they are, or have any real idea of what needs to be accomplished to win the war other than killing everyone on the bad guys' side. I finished this book not even knowing who had the bigger team anymore. I'm presuming Avalon, but a lot of the named characters on their side are dead by now.
I guess I'm just massively disappointed because I loved the Hellequin Chronicles so much, and it feels like it's been all downhill since Scorched Shadows.
2.5 stars. I'll obviously read the next book to finish out the series, but sadly I don't have high hopes.

Death Unleashed
The Rebellion Chronicles, Book 2
By: Steve McHugh
Narrated by: Simon Mattacks, Elizabeth Knowelden, Shaun Grindell, Steve West
Hera is trying to kill as many of the "children" as she can. A great deal of action with Mordred and Nate. Odin also had a big part. Interesting plot, quick and intense pace! Love the characters! Some losses occur😑, some twists, and good things develop. Loved it.
Love all the narrators! Preordered the next book!

To say I was excited to get an early copy of this book would be an understatement! McHugh has rapidly climbed to the top of my ‘most anticipated’ list and he’s yet to disappoint.
This book takes up the story a few months after the end of Sorcery Reborn and continues with the split perspective, this time adding Mordred’s perspective to Nate’s and Layla’s. Despite there being three perspectives the book never feels too busy. All three characters have a distinct ’voice’ and it’s easy to distinguish which story we’re following (if you somehow miss the chapter headers where it tells you who it is - I’ve been surprised at how difficult people seem find keeping up with split perspectives in books, even with clear headings to guide them!). Once the action starts it’s pretty much non-stop, with new and intriguing uses of powers, and of course swearing - thanks mostly to Remy, who never ceases to amuse (read his novella Hunted to get more Remy goodness). It’s violent, but if you don’t want violent don’t read books about former assassins and wars, and it’s funny. It’s also heartbreaking at times, beloved characters are in peril, as are their loved ones, as they battle Avalon.
Again I’m impressed and happy that McHugh manages to be inclusive, with sexualities represented well and not used simply for titillation and fetishisation. He’s one of the best male writers with regard to female characters. They aren’t described or valued by their physical and sexual attributes- case in point, Aphrodite. She’s a succubus and is described as beautiful, but that’s it. No epic paragraphs about her body. It’s amazing how many male (and to be honest, female) writers are incapable of creating strong, competent and smart female characters without reducing them to a bra size. There are so many strong and powerful women in this universe, who get the respect they’re due. Even better than that, in some ways, McHugh isn’t afraid to create terrible women, and he isn’t afraid to treat them in the same way he treats his awful male characters. How sad is it that in 2020 it’s still so unusual to see true equality??
The amount of story threads that McHugh has had to weave together is staggering, and he does it masterfully. This trilogy is the culmination of 10 previous novels, over two series, with a huge cast of characters with a lot of plot to cover. Lesser writers would have stumbled many times, leaving loose ends galore, but other than a few things lost in editing - which he’s explained in various places - McHugh manages not to fumble.
I’d highly recommend reading all of McHugh’s books, this is a great universe to get lost in and is somewhere I return to regularly as I reread often. Unforgettable characters, continuous action, masses of humour and a great story.....what’s not to love?!

Another amazing installment in this world.
I so love these characters, and this one is a full on roller coaster of emotions as there's a lot of deaths and the danger level is ramped up even more. There's also and a really murder cliff hanger at the end! Can't believe I'll have to wait to know what's next!
For me there were a few moments that felt so "anime action" that it took away a tiny bit of the suspense. There's a fine line between the mix of humour and action that I love best and it feeling a bit too unrealistic. But this is whining on very high levels, as I bloody loved the whole book anyway.
I really can't wait to get my eyes and ears on the next one!

It was okay ...
I’ve said this on one of the breakaway series but the authors style of writing has definitely changed from the earlier books. At times we treated to an absolute literary classic. Other times we are treated to what appears complete boredom by the author who just wants to get it over. Then we have the seven year old view using that classic wording, “And then, and then, and then, and then”. Then we have the style of writing that DC television seems to have where a character has a new power, new suit etc. They turn up, kick arse as you expect only to have their arse handed to them again. It’s only by some emotion they then do something to defeat / kill the bad guy leaving you thinking why didn’t they do that in the first place !?!!
Nate is meant to be Death, one of the four horsemen. Has come back at the top of his game & his fights go the same way as before - very lame & frustrating at times. I think the author loved the A-Team back in the day as they had a similar theme!
I do question why am I still reading these books.
I like the characters, the earlier books for great but for the love of something holy, if your not enjoying writing these books Mr Author - don’t bother!
At least they are an easy read - plus I read two other books whilst reading this!
Just about to start Remy’s stand alone book - let’s see how that fairs ....

I don't really know where to start with this one....
I've followed Nate and his story since day one, and in my honest opinion, each book has gotten better as they've gone on.
After reading Sorcery Reborn, I wasn't sure that Steve would be able to write a better book, or one that I would enjoy reading more. I was mistaken.
Death Unleashed was just superb, in all the stories we hear from Nate, this one for me humanized him a little more, the first couple of chapters and the situations he finds himself dealing with, are something that anyone, you or I could be going through.
I felt genuine heartache, elation, excitement and a whole rage of emotions! At parts I had to put the book down and take a minute and others had me laughing until I had tears in my eyes (but that's probably just me)
The story covers Nate, Mordred and Layla, and unlike some situations where the story jumps around a little too much, the flow in Death Unleashed was perfect, which is a testament to Steve's writing.
Steve has a way of bringing the characters to life in a way I rarely see in books. His description of the historical and mythological characters through the series are now how I picture them in every medium they appear.
I'm excited and sad to read the last book, and I look forward to more if Steve's work in the future, with or without Nate Garrett.

This was not good. The series is dragging and becoming repetitive, both in the series and within the books. The characters suffer the same existential crisis every single book (multiple times) with zero growth and repeating the same thoughts and words over and over. The plot device in which Mordred doesn't take the sword with him is so contrived and seems to be there only to lengthen the book and series, which could and SHOULD have ended with this book. There are too many points of view, and the Layla point of view is useless to the pace of the story. That particular contingent seems to be a giant stereotype of "the female power" concept thrown in for simply that purpose rather than a real story while leaving the already established Kasey, her mother, Ellie, and Elaibe as one-dimensional throw-aways. If this is only halfway through the Rebellion Chronicles, that is a mistake. It has become paced like an over-written high fantasy series, and while I once loved these characters, I have become completely apathetic towards them.

Fantastic page turner!
I don't recommend starting this book before bed, not if you plan on sleeping. Steve does it again with the second book in this trilogy. Packed with action and excellent writing do yourself a favor, block out a few hours and read this book!

Thank to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.
Nate is back and all the shit he needs to deal with is even bigger. Layla always tent to wrap herself in someone else's problem and Mordred needs to get Excalibur before Arthur. Who will win this war - Avalon or the rebellions?
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I desperately need book 3.....
Fast passed, lots of twists and some very unpredictable events.
Enjoy!

Nate is really scary, we meet Valkyries, we hear new words from Remy. The war has its first big battle and we keep going.

It's fair to say that the world Steve McHugh has created, first in the Hellequin Chronicles then the Avalon Chronicles and now the Rebellion Chronicles has captured my imagination like no other fantasy series and his books are an absolute must-read for me. Sorcery Reborn was one of my favourite reads of 2019 so I've been eagerly awaiting Death Unleashed. The narrative is split three ways this time; each storyline would make a superb novel in its own right and so having them all in one book is spoiling us! I always experience a range of emotions when reading one of Steve's books but he has truly surpassed himself here with a story which had my heart racing during some scenes, saw me laughing out loud at other times before the moments where I had to read through my tears.
Nate Garrett having full access to his powers is a mouthwatering prospect but life still isn't easy for him and it's the exploration of his vulnerabilities which I found to be particularly engaging here. He might be capable of extreme acts of magic and violence but when his family and friends are threatened he hurts as much as any human and he is certainly made to suffer during the course of this novel. Having finally been reunited with his father, Odin, the pair are tentatively trying to figure out their relationship and the obvious awkwardness between them is amusingly touching. Nate is also a new father which adds a further fascinating dimension to his endeavours to finally beat Avalon. At the start of the book, he is in Asgard where everybody expects an imminent attack, however, when word comes through of a possible experiment laboratory in Montana, Nate's best friend, Tommy and Odin take a team to Earth to discover more. Nate is distraught when just the pair of them return, both horrifically poisoned by a deadly venom. He is always ready for battle but this time it's personal and Hera is in his sights...
Meanwhile, Layla and her team are in Valhalla, hoping to persuade the Valkyries to join the fight against Arthur and Avalon. I've loved seeing Layla's character development since A Glimmer of Hope and that continues here as she becomes somewhat of a mentor to Ava, the sixteen-year- old new addition to the team. The similarities between the two are striking - both from Earth, they grew up as ordinary girls and young women before being thrust into this extraordinary life where it transpires that mythological beings are real and that they are at war with an evil empire led by Arthur. Just as Layla had to suddenly come to terms with her new reality, so Ava must redefine all that she thought she knew. Layla became an umbra by accident whereas Ava has only recently discovered she is a shinigami and I'm intrigued to discover whether the younger woman will be able to become as strong and resourceful as Layla who is now an exceptional fighter and leader. At present, she is understandably struggling and is terrified by the prospect of war. Her abilities aren't about physical prowess however, and I'm looking forward to seeing if she will be able to feel more confident about her place in this world as she learns more about her capabilities. It's not really a surprise when things don't go as planned in Valhalla but they make some important discoveries here and I loved the introduction of some new characters, with one in particular making a real impression on the proceedings despite only appearing fairly briefly. I hope they return in a larger role in the next book and I suspect Remy the fox-man would agree!
The third storyline follows Mordred who has always been one of my favourite characters and like Nate, things become very personal for him in Death Unleashed. He is reunited with some faces from his past but it's fair to say that he doesn't relish seeing Lancelot again. There is a lot of blood and violence in this series but it's packed with humour too and perhaps never more so than when Mordred, Hel and Elaine find Lancelot and Guinevere. I'm not going to give anything away, other than to say that their relationship isn't quite as history would tell us, and that who knew troll bones could be used that way?! As I write this review I'm trying to decide whether I found Nate or Mordred's storyline the most emotional, both are tested to their absolute limits in this novel and there are stunning revelations about both of them. Mordred needs to retrieve Excalibur but first he faces a test which he fears he may not be up to and there is a scene here which is beautifully written and really quite touching.
As I read Death Unleashed I found myself constantly applauding this outstanding example of how to evolve an ongoing fantasy series. The way in which new discoveries link back to previous events whilst driving the story onwards is truly exceptional; there may be twists and shocks but they always make sense and are never added just for the sake of a 'wow' moment. It's more than just the advancement of the overarching storyline which makes me love these books, however. These are characters who I've grown to care about deeply. It doesn't matter that they are sorcerers, umbras, gods, dragon-kin or werewolves; each of them are more than their abilities, their flaws and their legacies. Some of them I love, some I am desperate to see vanquished but I am completely invested in what happens to every single one of them. (I even look forward to seeing if the blood elves appear again!) It is possible to read and enjoy Death Unleashed without reading any of the previous books and indeed I joined the series at the end of the Hellequin Chronicles but I strongly advise you to read at least some of the other novels to truly appreciate just what a magnificent achievement this book is. I have mixed emotions looking forward to the final part of the Rebellion Chronicles, I'm desperate to discover what happens next - especially after reading the ominous epilogue - but I don't want it to end!
Nate Garrett having full access to his powers is a mouthwatering prospect but life still isn't easy for him and it's the exploration of his vulnerabilities which I found to be particularly engaging here. He might be capable of extreme acts of magic and violence but when his family and friends are threatened he hurts as much as any human and he is certainly made to suffer during the course of this novel. Having finally been reunited with his father, Odin, the pair are tentatively trying to figure out their relationship and the obvious awkwardness between them is amusingly touching. Nate is also a new father which adds a further fascinating dimension to his endeavours to finally beat Avalon. At the start of the book, he is in Asgard where everybody expects an imminent attack, however, when word comes through of a possible experiment laboratory in Montana, Nate's best friend, Tommy and Odin take a team to Earth to discover more. Nate is distraught when just the pair of them return, both horrifically poisoned by a deadly venom. He is always ready for battle but this time it's personal and Hera is in his sights...
Meanwhile, Layla and her team are in Valhalla, hoping to persuade the Valkyries to join the fight against Arthur and Avalon. I've loved seeing Layla's character development since A Glimmer of Hope and that continues here as she becomes somewhat of a mentor to Ava, the sixteen-year- old new addition to the team. The similarities between the two are striking - both from Earth, they grew up as ordinary girls and young women before being thrust into this extraordinary life where it transpires that mythological beings are real and that they are at war with an evil empire led by Arthur. Just as Layla had to suddenly come to terms with her new reality, so Ava must redefine all that she thought she knew. Layla became an umbra by accident whereas Ava has only recently discovered she is a shinigami and I'm intrigued to discover whether the younger woman will be able to become as strong and resourceful as Layla who is now an exceptional fighter and leader. At present, she is understandably struggling and is terrified by the prospect of war. Her abilities aren't about physical prowess however, and I'm looking forward to seeing if she will be able to feel more confident about her place in this world as she learns more about her capabilities. It's not really a surprise when things don't go as planned in Valhalla but they make some important discoveries here and I loved the introduction of some new characters, with one in particular making a real impression on the proceedings despite only appearing fairly briefly. I hope they return in a larger role in the next book and I suspect Remy the fox-man would agree!
The third storyline follows Mordred who has always been one of my favourite characters and like Nate, things become very personal for him in Death Unleashed. He is reunited with some faces from his past but it's fair to say that he doesn't relish seeing Lancelot again. There is a lot of blood and violence in this series but it's packed with humour too and perhaps never more so than when Mordred, Hel and Elaine find Lancelot and Guinevere.

May 3, 2020Hellequin.... Nate, go get Tommy!
This book is awesome if you're a Hellequin Chronicles loyal fanatic who compares all future books to Steve McHugh's Hellequin books! And now I have to wait till the final (?) book comes out to read and reread several times, then go back and reread the whole series so that in my mind I am totally immersed in Nate Garrett's alternate reality of Earth! Can you say obsessed? Yup, that's me about this world!
What I really enjoyed about the whole series of Hellequin novels AND this current series is that Mr. McHugh's takes less known "gods" and turns them into just really powerful magic users. This helps us, the readers, to make them more approachable and realistic. He also turns the tables making the usual "good guys" into bad guys and vice verse so that the regular novels of these characters can take on a whole new view!
Lastly, it feels as though the whole Nate Garrett stories are coming to an end BUT Steve McHugh could start a whole new story line of Nate Garrett's past, since he is 1600 yrs old there must be A LOT of history! He could write about how he met all the different characters which are his current friends and the situations and problems they had tackled! Because there are quite a lot of really good characters other than Nate himself! Exa. We know how Nate and Tommy became friends and how Irkalla and Nate had fought in Mesopotamian! But we don't have the history of Diana (the hunter) who is the Greek version of Irish Flidias (and I only know this from reading the whole Iron Druid books). What really grabbed me also was using the Titans and making them older magic users. Also making Arthur and Merlin the evil "overlords" with a Christian Demon, Abbadon looking to take over the whole world and make humans their slaves. And I really enjoyed Mordred after Nate shot him through his eye! Allowing Mordred who's always portrayed as the bad guy, which he was in the beginning of this series but allowing this character to change back to the positive and knowing why he was bad. Oh, and Hades/Persephone. No one's written that Persephone was worshipped as a "god" or a powerful mage, and Hades as an extraordinarily powerful Necromancer (but he's been portrayed as a "good guy" before, in Sandman Slim series).
What I'm trying to explain is that we diehard fans of the Hellequin/ Nate Garrett novels DON'T have to end because there are so many more stories that your fans want to read about! So many more in Nate's 1600 years of living prior to this Rebellion Chronicles series! So please don't close the book and expand on it! You have created a plethora of awesome characters in addition to Nate and Tommy that it would be unjust to not tell more stories about them all!

One of the things that went through my mind as I was listening to and/or reading this was, "Wow". I kept thinking to myself that if someone decided to pick this particular book off of the shelf to just read as a stand alone, there would be no way in the world that any of this would make sense. But, after being a faithful reader through over 10 books, two different series - actually, probably should go and count to know how many books exactly - anyway, being a faithful reader...I was FLOORED. How in the world did Steve McHugh bring all of these characters together? How did he bring plotlines that have occurred over years in real life, but CENTURIES in this world that he has created, together? He has somehow created the ultimate band of good guys that we have grown to know and love. That we feel devastated and heartbroken when they die. But, he has also made it clear that some of them WILL die. This is WAR. This is the culmination of everything that he started all those years ago. So, we were warned, yet we go forward.
Nate Garrett is the ultimate hero. He is not perfect. Not by a long shot. Between Nate and Mordred, you have both heroes and anti heroes, both of whom have traveled a very long and very crazy path to get to where we have found ourselves. But boy was the path interesting. And the set up for the final showdown ( at least, I THINK this will be the final shown down, but honestly...who knows?)
It is going to be a doozy.
So...without being able to give any spoilers...this one was difficult. We lost some people who we've grown to love and who our heroes love dearly. But, all was not lost and our core group is stronger than ever. One of the things that I enjoy is seeing the growth of some of these secondary characters that we have been with from the beginning. We have watch them grow into the bad asses that they've become - Layla, Chloe, to name just a couple. And, gotta love a funny fox man :)
So we wait. The next book has already prepared us for more loss, but I am hopeful that the bad guys...and the main Big Bad asshole...is going to get everything they deserve.
One can only hope....

This was a great follow-up to Sorcery Reborn; the gang is all back together, including a few characters from the beginning of the series (including Hope) and some new ones (including Nate's dad and mum!).
But with so many characters, and so many locations of action, this book transitioned between three main people: Nate, Mordred, and Layla. I appreciated that Nate was still written in first-person, because after all, this is still his story. But by the end, they were all joined together in one massive battle... it made me think of Avengers: End Game a bit.
Despite all the death and destruction, both Nate and Mordred are battling with themselves too - how much death and destruction can they bring down on others before they become a monster too. Nate wants to save everyone and Mordred doesn't want the responsibility of being a king; and feels guilt when he can't save the one's he loves. Bringing in that "human" element really helps build full characters that you can relate too. I appreciate that Hope said: "I'd prefer not to have civilians in the way, but you can't win a war and always be the good guy." Such a simplistic truth, and one that the protagonists must come to terms with.
And then that ending ... the epilogue. OMG... I can't believe I have to wait for the next book to find out what happens to ! Steve McHugh has written another great book and I am glad I found this series.

This may be my favorite novel in the series thus far. There are three stories carried throughout the book: Nate must search for a cure to a poison that threatens to kill his father and incapacitate his best friend, Tommy, Mordred must go off in pursuit of the great sword, Excalibur, a weapon that may allow him to defeat Arthur, and Layla is sent to negotiate for assistance from the Valkyrie Empress. Each of these stories are complete, take some very unexpected twists, and culminate in a apex battle for the realm of Asgard.
This truly felt like a build-up to the finale of the series. I am excited for what Horsemen's War will bring. It has a lot to live up to. The two main protagonists - Nate and Mordred - have Layla may not have faced the same degree of losses, but I am sure she will become a pivotal character of the final book. Nate and Mordred are joined by another of the horsemen, those born of special blood magic, in the form of Justice. I'm curious how her story will play out as the daughter of Zeus. I look forward to seeing the end of this series and wonder how McHugh might leave the ending with options to expand beyond these stories.

Things are happening because whether one has magic or not, it's always a game of thrones, a power grab.
In this book, there are three points of view: Nate (told in first person), Mordred (third person), and Layla (third person). Nate is trying to find a cure for his father who at the beginning of the book was put into a coma after an attack, and also Tommy who is not in a coma but is definitely weakened. Nate knows it is Hera behind the attacks and he pursues her, because he knows she has the antidote.
Mordred is on a hunt for Excalibur. Everyone keeps saying he is the rightful king, but he is doubtful. Despite the good he has done, his past when his mind was broken haunts him. He is very reluctant to take the sword.
Layla is going to the realm of the Valkyries to enlist their help against Arthur, and things do not go as planned. But they do meet up with Nate's mother.
Arthur makes his attack, and the resistance is ready as they'll ever be...
The book ends on a cliffhanger about one of my favorite characters and I really hope he's okay. Sad to see that there is only one more book in this series. I really love Nate and Mordred together.
Great story, would have read it much faster if not for starting a new job.

Probably my favorite in the entire extended series! The story is split between 3 storylines: Nate, Layla , and Mordred, that are all separate but join together at the end. Filled with lots of action, returning and new characters, and a large mix of different mythology told in a new way. I love that this entire extended series finds a way to do a spin on the traditional mythology and has call backs to well known stories. Those known as gods and legends are actually sorcerers, elementals, were-creatures, succubus, and so much more. It is cool to see multiple cultural mythologies combining into one story, like Greek, British, and Norse. Overall this book had great pacing, lots of action but still had moments of quiet, great relationship building, and merged 3 stories into one epic tale. I need to see what happens next.

I don’t even know where to begin with this one. Like all of Steve’s books, it’s epic - in both scale and execution. It reads like an action movie (I’m aware I say this a lot, but it’s true and it bears repeating because it’s testament to Steve’s talent at writing a damned good action sequence).
Fast-paced, with “oh my god, did that just happen?!” moments aplenty, well-rounded characters than your can’t help but become emotionally invested in, Death Unleashed tells a wonderful instalment of Nate’s story. I’m only sad it’s the penultimate book in the series, as I’m genuinely going to miss these characters and the world they inhabit. Especially Remy!
If you haven’t read the story so far, you really, really should. You won’t regret it!

Alright, I'll read the last book when it comes out in December then I'm done with books that are a constant on-going story of the same story! I like Nate and Selene and Mordred and Hades and Persephone, and I really like Remy. BUT I just can't keep waiting for the next book while I've read 30, 40 or 75 books since the last one about Nate and his team of men and women doing all they can to kill Arthur and Merlin.
No sex, and only a couple of kisses mentioned, and the F-bomb was used 100 times.
According to the list all four of these people narrated the book: Simon Mattacks , Elizabeth Knowelden , Shaun Grindell and Steve West. I couldn't tell you who was who but I can tell you that when the women read everyone, men and women alike, sounded the same.

Two down, one to go in the trilogy (The Rebellion Chronicles by Steve McHugh). 4 stars instead of 5 because I want more and better character development. Action? Lots of it (and after 2 books of it, a promise of more to come!). Magic? More than lots of it (at levels that can and do KILL GODS!). Battles? Between good and bad Gods, Demi-gods, Titans, Horsemen (originally 8, down to seven before Nate wakes up, and then . . . ), elves, dwarves, giants, sirens, shadows, humans, in hand-to-hand combat, etc., and with lots of treachery and betrayals and switching sides. Gods and monsters? The whole global encyclopedia of them. Deadly threats? To all the earth, all humanity, and all realms (lots of them) of all living things! Wow. How exhausting.

The giant cast of characters may be wearing on my at this point as this entry just didn't hold my interest like the previous books have. Still not bad at all and very funny moments throughout but the action scenes sometimes left me rereading segments bc I was lost as the frequent pov shifts left me wondering more for what was just left off. I enjoyed this all the same and this is still a great story overall it just didn't hit me the same as the others and felt a bit worse off for it. 3.5/5 bc rating out of 5 intervals sucks.

Death Unleashed
Great read. Steve McHugh has become one of my favorite authors. Everything gets put on hold whenever a new book of his comes out. This was a solid addition to the Rebellion Chronicles. Lots of action, and great characters that continue to evolve. You know that eventually the good guys will win, probably, but it won’t be easy. The characters know that as well but it doesn’t stop them from trying. Highly recommended.
